What is Haiku? Why should you write one?



impulse of the child
inside it's all poetic

suddenly you smile

Join the fun!

a dab of background, I was at an event last night and a child of similar age to the one in the picture (judging by the dental work), well, she got to smiling when I would give her a wink or a nod and it was a "sudden smile" that we shared - you know those times when impish joy takes over the moment and you have a child grinning, well it was one... so I made a note of the term "sudden smile" and vowed to elaborate... wah-lah! today's haiku availed itself as the "poifect" opportunity...
Have a wonderfully childish day!
